Alex and Claire emerge from Lamplight into the busy concourse, leaving Tommy, Tommy's father, Maya, and the officers behind to secure the tavern and preserve evidence. Alex’s right hand is healed and unwrapped as commuters stream around them.
A young adult woman in a navy transit jacket, a human woman with an average build, medium-brown skin, and a square face marked by a small mole, approaches with a tablet, her brown hair tucked beneath a cap and a transit badge clipped beside a radio. She stops at a respectful distance.
Elena Ruiz
Alex Mishyma? Officer Elena Ruiz, MBTA Transit Police. I need to update you on footage connected to the Lamplight incident.
She turns the tablet toward Alex and Claire. A station camera captured the masked shooter’s escape route, while a passing vehicle’s dashcam recorded officers arriving moments later.
Elena Ruiz
The footage supports the documented account, including the surrender and the officers’ response. It does not identify the unknown sender behind the intimidation network.
Claire
Thank you for preserving it. Does the recording show anyone following Alex or me after we left the pub?

Alex Mishyma's turn“"Jarvis? Have a chat with that tablet with a noted foot trail of our copying the material, please?" "Ah, yes, because tablets are just *dying* to gossip about our meticulous paper trail. Fine, chatting initiated." You chuckle snort, shaking your head. "Pulling a copy now as we speak, Officer Ruiz, with a completely transparent trail of transfer to my lawyer."”
SUCCESS (Legendary Computers, rolled -1)
Alex Mishyma
Jarvis, chat with Officer Ruiz’s tablet and copy the footage, with a completely transparent transfer trail to my lawyer. Tablets must love gossip.
Alex chuckles and shakes his head. The AI glasses authenticate the tablet’s displayed transfer controls, while the personal laptop opens an isolated evidence workspace beside him.
Jarvis
Initiating a read-only conversation with the tablet, Alex. I’ll copy the footage and document every transfer without changing the source.
Tech Savant negotiates the tablet’s approved export path as the AI glasses display each permission and checksum. The personal laptop records the source, timestamps, recipient, and custody log in real time.
Jarvis
Copy complete. The station footage and dashcam recording are preserved with verified hashes, and a transparent transfer record is ready for Nina Patel, your lawyer.
Elena Ruiz
That works for me. I can see the source copy, the logged destination, and the custody trail. I’ll attach the transfer confirmation to the incident file.
The tablet remains unchanged in Elena’s hands while Alex’s laptop seals the copied files and receipt. Claire watches beside him, and the concourse carries on around their documented handoff.
